Therapists in Lovell, ME

Although I work with a range of clients, I have particular expertise and interest in working with the LGBTQ+ community. Since an online profile is so one dimensional, I offer an intro session for individuals to ask me as many questions as they like. I'm invested in being available and forthcoming (within a frame of professional boundaries). I feel unique qualities that I have are a sense of humor and a progressive world view that includes helping clients feel completely at ease and not judged. I recently attended a Harvard sponsored "Excellence in Trans Health" conference, and continue education that is current and cutting edge.

Accepting new clients for in-person nature based sessions in the White Mountain Region of NH with a waitliIst for Telehealth clients. My therapeutic approach is strengths based and healing-centered. I specialize in EMDR, parts work, attachment based, mindfulness, and somatic therapies. Nature based sessions facilitate embodiment, grounding, mindfulness, resilience, self confidence and an inner sense of safety. Telehealth is an effective and convenient option for those with busy schedules, transportation barriers, physical limitations, or those who simply prefer to meet from the comfort of home.

I help men struggling with sexual addiction and/or porn addiction stop their compulsive sexual behavior and live healthy productive lives. Not being able to stop can be incredibly painful and frustrating. And harmful to those closest to you. Many times this frustration is made worse by an inability to stop despite a strong desire to do so. If you or someone you know struggles with sex addiction or porn addiction contact me to schedule a free 20 minute introduction to see if working with me is the right fit!

As an EMDR Certified Therapist, I help clients find relief from trauma and associated patterns of anxiety and depression that may present as dysfunctional or challenging relationships, perfectionist & people-pleasing tendencies, fear of rejection, shame, low self-esteem, or feeling like an imposter or outsider. These issues can stem from something that happened, like emotional/physical abuse, neglect, abandonment, or mistreatment, or what didn't happen, like not being protected, heard, understood, or supported. Often rooted in interpersonal injuries with caregivers, friends, school, or society, these issues can be insidious.

Maybe you want to build more skills in navigating the day to day emotions that permeate your mind, body and spirt. Whatever your goals, my work is to support you on your particular path, with the ups and downs that are an inevitable part of your process.

I am currently accepting new clients. I firmly believe that everyone possesses the ability to heal and grow. My role in the process is to help bring forth awareness and assist in helping clients cultivate coping skills. I am particularly interested in the mind/body connection and believe that with the use of mindfulness, individuals can implement an integrative approach to facilitate multi-level healing. My philosophy taps into various parts of the self in order to create inner cohesion. By developing self-compassion and acceptance, we can begin to embrace our whole selves and manage anxiety, stress, and relational issues.

Thank you for your interest in my therapy/counseling practice. It is often a very difficult decision to finally decide to go to therapy.

I am co founder of Greater Portland DBT which is a consortium of DBT therapists offering Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to adults and teens.

Trauma and adverse childhood experiences can lead to substance use disorders, toxic relationships and a variety of maladaptive behaviors. Recovery is possible.
